Post about post-production of CCRs

 Besides the script, i believe i put enough attention into other parts of the CCR. Like, lighting, camera angle, and camera shot. I chose to go with mid shot because the CCR is about our reflection on the product so showing too much of the background could be distracting. Any closer would have been too much. I would also want myself to be in the middle of the frame, so the focus is on me.

final reflection on project

 I felt my choices were the right way to go. Mostly because I felt lighting deserved a bigger priority than distractions in the background. Overall, I'm satisfied with how the CCR turned out. I reached a benchmark in video lengh that I had for myself and i feel that I went into more detail than usual

CCR production

 I planned to make each last a good amount of time and tried to detail my thought progress as much as possible. As you may have seen, I don't gap into detail often or add extra words, I go straight to the point. So this time i put extra effort in breaking down my thought process and adding as much detail as possible.

I also thought back to when we were advised to not have anything in the background. I chose to partially ignore this advice because that spot had the best lighting and i could cover enough that it would not be distracting

Film opening

CCR

Group meeting 2

 One group is doing a film opening about a person that is bad at basketball, while his brother is known really well.

Another group's film opening is about a girl with suicidal thoughts.

The other group's film opening is about a title where a couple fights and what happens after.

At this point in time, we did not have a title. So, the group suggested titles like The Maze and Game Over.

I think we may do something similar, in terms of title length.

Research/script for question 4 of CCR

How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

To film we used my phone (an iPhone 13), my partner's phone, and my partner's tripod. With my phone we got videos that were cut from the final product. After my phone died, we switched to my partner's phone. With his phone we took long shots, mid shots, close shots, and POV shots (they are not in the final product). The tripod we used for scenes like running to keep a steady camera.

To edit, we used Premiere Pro because we had the most experience with it. We used multiple sites/apps like Canva for the title

Research/script for question 3 of CCR

• How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Producing:

We had to experiment with various types of shots during our takes. Some of the shots we did were long shots, medium shots, close shots. These are shots that are included in our film opening. Besides the ones we used, we also used POV shot, but we cut them because they did not help the storyline any better than the other shots.

Cutting:

Next. we moved onto cutting. The first step we took was review it multiple times and note down what we thought should be cut. After enough review we cut the parts that were unnecessarily too long or added nothing to the storyline. Then, if we had to, we rearranged the videos to make the storyline better.

Sound:

Previously mentioned, we had to get the timing of the phone notifications right to have a sense of urgency and importance while not overdoing it. Besides this, all other sound included was natural. This was done to make it clear that the setting besides the house and garage had no impact within the film.
